YoloMouse 1.18.0

This involves a major rewrite and simplification of the core injection system which should clear up alot of edge case bugs and performance issues in various games.

Then gave glow some color, made it generate faster, and available to regular cursors.

For those who want to reuse existing game cursors in other games, try the edit button in Cursor tab while the original game cursor is selected 😎

This update was getting a bit large, so any promised requests have been noted in the TODO section and are priority for next update ❤️
